Greg Staples - Danse Macabre.

Sadly, Prog 1921 sees the end of Dark Justice, and possibly the end of Death and his cronies themselves. Will Dredd and Anderson win? I wouldn't bet on it...

The series has looked absolutely beautiful, two years in the making and worth every second! When this is collected into a beautiful hardback graphic novel I'll be first in the queue!

To commemorate the end of the series, Greg painted a stunning wraparound cover featuring Dredd and Anderson's struggle against the Dark Ones. So scary was this image that Greg had to cover Death with a bit of tracing paper as his hands were trembling...

﻿

It's no use trying to hide Sidney, that's tracing paper!

Sssshithouse that he is though, Death manages to swat away the piece of paper, aaaaaagh!

﻿

Peekaboo!﻿

A stiff drink and pep talk later and Greg was able to remove the paper altogether and get a grip of his unruly models...

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it, Vogue!﻿

Let's drink in some of those close up details eh? Here's Death, happy as ever...

﻿

Dredd about to practice some extreme dentistry on Death...﻿

And we pan out to see just why he's so happy - about to off poor Joe again eh?

Gaze into the belt of Fear! In the story 'Young Fear' we learned that lil' Frankie was very close to his Nana Agnessss before her fatal balloon induced heart attack at his 7th birthday party, stating his lifelong obsession with fear. The little softy kept her head, bingo dabber, serrated chastity belts and padlock. A sweet story indeed... ﻿

Do you know how long it takes Death to manicure the nails on his elbow pad? Ssssstlye is everything!

﻿

Greg adds some evil ink that has been cursed by Putin himself - the horror!

"Jussst one little kiss Joe!"

I bet you're thinking this is the real Fire eh?

It's simple really - Boing(R) for the other three, camomile lotion for Fire.
